A powerful and portable cardiovascular ultrasound machine

The GE Vivid IQ ultrasound system is GE’s latest and greatest portable cardiovascular ultrasound system. The Vivid IQ was released with superior imaging capabilities and faster processing speed than its predecessors the GE Vivid I and GE Vivid Q. The IQ was made with portability in mind; an optional docking cart allows up to 4 active probe ports and 4 hours of battery life. At only 10 pounds, if you decide not to purchase the optional cart, taking the ultrasound from office to office or from room to room will not be an issue. The general workflow of an exam is similar to the Vivid I and Vivid Q with an updated touch interface like a modern tablet or cell phone. Tablet like gestures such as tap, pinch, and zoom help reduce the number of keystrokes throughout the exam procedure which leads to less exam time. Like all vivid ultrasound systems, quantification is key in helping cardiologists diagnose their patient correctly; the Vivid IQ is no exception. With quantification tools such as Auto EF (Assists in measuring LV function), AFI (Asses and quantify left ventricular wall motion), IMT (Automatic Measurement of Intima-Media Thickness), and Anatomical M-mode (Allows the M-Mode cursor to be adjusted at any plan) these key quantification tools help providers evaluate and address cardiovascular issues with confidence.
